22nd April 1941 Plymouth badly blitzed

Sirens wailed at 10pm. Soon we counted dozen bangs, bombs and AA guns in Exeter district. Marion still in bed with a cold, refused to go to shelter and said " I am just as safe in bed instead of shivering in the hall but you come into my bed and we will defy the Jerrys together.
We both lay perfectly quite listening to them roar overhead. I stayed awake till all clear at 3.30 Marion slept from midnight till 10.am next morning. I woke at 9am Mr Truman showed us a piece of last night's bomb, they went to see the damage which was nearer to us than the airport this time. While they were up there a time bomb that had been sandbagged went off. Plymouth was badly blitzed too, daddy saw one flash after another over there between 10 and 12. Marion hugged the breath out of me this evening and said.. "sometimes my love for you overcomes me and it surges out you see because I do not let it out as a routine!" Here they had eight time bombs near airport three went off in course of today with big bangs.
